72 ISAAC NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL @tcv(U . . . Our Clubs have provided varied and interesting outlets for the extra curri¬ cular vehemence of a large body of the students who have taken part in them this year. Although fewer in number than last year, the clubs have still per¬ formed an important part of the school life. RED CROSS This year as in the past, the Junior Red Cross was organized in the early part of the school term. The club is a unit in the Junior Organization of the Canadian Red Cross. The officers were: President: Olga Mellin, Room 2 Vice-president: Ruth Lohse, Room 2 Secretary-treasurer: Kay Sych, Room 16 Program convener: Audrey Haine, Room 1 Work convener: Dorothy Sikorsky, Room 16. Miss Hazelwood was again elected to take charge and has proven to be capable as in previous years. Miss Edwards, too, did her part by assisting Miss Hazelwood and instructing the girls. Mr. Floyd revised the time-table so that two periods every Thursday were devoted to War Work. The Nether¬ lands Branch of the Red Cross donated 39 V 2 lbs. of wool which was knitted into body belts, socks, baby garments, sweaters, mitts, scarves and face cloths. Through the efforts of the girls a goodly number of completed articles have been given into the hands of the Red Cross. They are as follows: 59 body belts 80 baby garments 7 helmets 36 scarves 10 pairs of ankle socks 50 property bags 23 pairs of mitts 42 sleeveless sweaters 10 navy dickies 1 turtle-neck sea¬ man’s sweater Many interesting events took place this term: on November 12th we were honoured by a visit from Mrs. Van Remnsdyk, the president of the Nether¬ lands branch of the Red Cross and Mrs. Shortinghouse, secretary.

NEWTONIAN 71 sion and the significance of bush-flying. Mr. Moulgat, who was on the Athenia at the time of its sinking, gave us a breath-taking description of his escape. Dr. Isabel McTavish, missionary from China told us about the people of China, and of her work she had been doing there. C. Rhodes Smith lectured on the Legislature and his work in connec¬ tion with the government. Mr. Jenkins of the post office brought down some slides which he showed on the work done at the post office. Mrs. Garry, director of the women’s department of the National Selective Service Bureau came down and spoke to the girls. John Danko, former president of Newton told us something about his life in the Navy. These Auditorium Periods prove not only interesting, but very educational. We hope that the students, in years to come, will carry on with this activity. SPRING FANCIES Sir Rabbil! Your home is a hollow In an old oak tree, A home such as that One never could see. A hunter may seek you In the woodland glade, But the Lord shelters all Of the things He made; So hop, little rabbit, Hop, Hop, Hop, Hop Sir Rabbit, Hop, never stop. Gipsy Maiden Where the grass is green, Where flowers bloom fair, A little gipsy maiden Lives near there. She plays with the flowers And dances in the sun, The wild gipsy violins Make her beam with fun. Her dark eyes are enchanting, To all who pass by, This little gipsy maiden Makes all the boys sigh. —C. GAY Buy with confidence Bannerman Drug Store 545 Bannerman Avenue Cor.

NEWTONIAN 73 being on display for curious spectators who paid to see him. Besides the knitted articles, a quilt has been completed by the girls after many hours of hard work. Our Junior Red Cross has handed $50.00 to the Red Cross. This sum we know will be used for some needy cause. On the whole the club has had a very successful year. RUGBY CLUB 1942-1943 Under the capable managerial reign of Mr. Armstrong and a few of the boys from the rugbv team, the Rugby Club progressed well this season. The club began later than usual this year. The meetings consisted of lec¬ tures about the fundamentals of line and backfield play, of offence and de¬ fence, and of various rules about the game. To give all pupils that are returning to school next year a boost, we are happy to say that Fred Shero, Eugene Zakala, Steve Buchko, Frank Hans, John Stroppa, Wallace Birch, Bill Skyba and Walt Malkiewicz are all hoping to be back next term to strengthen the team. The new boys as well as the fellows returning, state firmly that they will be in there fighting harder than ever for the good old Red and Black. EX NOBIS (continued from page 53) SPORTS Meriting praise for their efficiency, and sportsmanship, Jack Douglas, Rit¬ chie Ward and Andy Hall, former Grade XII favorites, have received the coveted Senior “M” in rugby at the University of Manitoba. Walter Kostroski who graduated from Isaac Newton last year received the Ernie Devlin Trophy this year. This trophy is awarded at St. Paul’s College to the player who best combines scho¬ lastic with athletic ability. Our congra¬ tulations and best wishes. Sam Lavitt, whose outstanding suc¬ cess in hockey and rugby is well known, is completing a fighter-pilot’s course in the R.C.A.F. If we know Sam he will undoubtedly prove as successful in this as he has in his other fields of endeavor. Compliments of Dominion Lumber Fuel Co. Ltd. Redwood and McKenzie Phone 57 384 H. D.
